Happy Scrappy Village - SIMS Challenge

A while back I saw a quilt hanging in Quilt Craft at Toowoomba - and being the lover of - oops 'sucker for' - houses and buildings generally - I bought the pattern.  When I showed it to my SIMS group - we all decided we "needed" to make it...and the "challenge" began.


We decided we would select 3 fabrics each and give a square to each other - the aim being that we would have a little bit of each person in our quilts.

In January this year - I can see I was working on it...and we had a self-imposed deadline to have it finished - quilted etc - by December 2021.
I made it by the skin of my teeth.  (So what's new?)

Here is mine 

I grouped the houses I made from the fabrics given to me and mine - in the middle.
From top: - Maureen, Inca, me, Sue

On our Show & Tell day - we arranged them so we could see a section of each.


All the same - but all different!

Good to tick this one off the list - 
though I have plans to add some more quilting (and a label??)

FNWF - January

Trying to get back to some sort of routine after the Christmas break....so time to join Cheryll and fellow FNWFers for a night of sewing.

I worked on this most of the night.   I should have finished this a while back .  . .(plenty of excuses but it all boils down to over-committing myself!!!)


Always glad to have everyone as cyber company.
And I will try to pop around and visit you.
Thanks Cheryll for keeping us focused for another year.

Tomorrow should have been the first meeting of the year for Loose Threads - but Brisbane and surrounding areas are in lockdown - no leaving the house except for essentials.
Guess I will just have to keep on sewing!!!
And if I finish off the top of this - I'm sure I can find something else to work on.
